The poet they probably shouldn’t have sent. I watch anime and am sometimes accused of reading books. I'm writing a long gay giant robot story in verse—probably this millennium's best yuri mecha epic poem, through lack of competition.


'Now praise those names on tombs of steel engraved | And toll this rotting country’s countless bells.'

(I said 1 EST but actually I need to get out so it's going up now) See title; this is a recommendation post for anyone who watched and loved Bravern and doesn't know where to go to find works on that particular vibe wavelength. I can't help you on the BL side, but I can sure help on the cool robot side.

Thanks! Bravern got the robot bug in me so I watched Gaogaigar, which was great, and was just wondering where to start with Mazinger cuz I watched a little bit of Shin Mazinger and it was too referential to feel like a good starting point (even if it's got not one but two absolute banger OPs, which can really sustain a show).

Vs GGD is such a banger recommendation, you're absolutely right. It just gets the full appeal and juice of Mazinger on TV in a real good, concise package.

I'm hoping that Grendizer U later this year also follows up on Bravern's example and has the heated drama between men lmao. Having both Okouchi and Fukuda on the same show is promising an Experience to remember and I hope neither of them shy away from Duke and Koji's vibes.
